The global attempts to control the HIV disease were emphasized, in the midst the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emerged as a pandemic.

Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 112 PLWH referred to behavioral disorders consulting center in Arak, Iran from May to December 2022. The data collection tool was a questionnaire including COVID-19 prevention behaviors (5 items) and a health literacy instrument (14 items). The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 18 and for all tests, the significance level of α was considered as 0.05. Results The average (SD)age of the participants was 42.9 (10.6) and the education level of 11.6% of the participants were university. The mean score of HL was 3.5 (0.73) out of 5 and 36.6% of them had higher HL. The mean of behaviors was 17.2 (3.4) out of 25 and 53.6 had higher behaviors. The HL had a significant relationship with behaviors (r = 0.48; p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression indicated that HL had a significant association with age (P = 0.002), education (P = 0.046), and economic status (p < 0.001) and explained 32% of the variance of HL. Conclusion According to the findings, HL affected COVID-19-prevention behaviors. Effective educational interventions intended for PLWH based on health literacy can be useful to this extent. |
